MPORTANTI
Not following instructions properly may impair safety of equipment and/or personnel.
The ER-500 flow monitor incorporates state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology designed to provide the user with
exceptional flexibility at a very affordable price. Though designed for use with Badger Meter® flow sensors, this monitor can
be used with almost any flow sensor producing a low amplitude AC output or contact closure signal.
The ER-500 monitor uses contact closures from an ILR transmitter that translates to flow rate through the use of a scaling
constant called a K-factor.
This monitor is also capable of accepting low-level frequency input signals typically found in flow sensors that generate
a frequency output. The output signal for these type of sensors is a frequency proportional to the rate of flow. The ER-500
monitor uses the frequency information to calculate flow rate and total flow. If required, the flow monitor can easily be
re-configured in the field.

The monitor is available in two different levels of functionality. The standard model provides all the functions necessary for
the most common flow metering applications. The advanced version adds communications capabilities over an RS485 bus
using Modbus RTU and control outputs.

INSTALLATION
Connecting the ER-500 Monitor to a Pulse Output Device
The ER-500 monitor has two jumpers that are used to set the type of signal and the minimum amplitude of the signal that
it accepts. When used with Badger Meter IOG oval gear meters, the Input Signal Level should be set to Low and the Input
Waveform should be set for pulse as shown in Figure 2.

If the ER-500 monitor is a replacement, it must be calibrated for the IOG it is intended to be used with. The K-factor for the
specific IOG meter must be programmed into the ER-500 monitor. The K-factor value is found on the calibration certificate
that came with the IOG meter. For instructions on programming the K-factor, see Enter Flow Sensor's K-factor* on page 17.
Transmitter Connections
The ILR transmitter typically used with the IOG meter family has two sets of pulse output wires. The white and green output
leads connected to the primary reed switch bank are generally the first choice (see Figure 3).

Installation
Power Connections
The ER-500 monitor has two power supply options. The first power supply is an internal lithium 3.6V DC D size cell that powers
the monitor for about six years when no outputs are used. The monitor can also be powered by a 4…20 mA current loop.
See Figure 4. If the current loop is used, a sensing circuit within the monitor detects the presence of the current loop and
automatically disconnects the battery from the circuit.

If the monitor is a replacement, the K-factor of the flow sensor has changed, or the monitor is being used with some other
pulse generating device, programming is necessary.
Programming Using Frequency Output Flow Sensors
Each Badger Meter flow sensor is shipped with either a K-factor value or frequency data. If frequency data is provided, the
data must be converted to a K-factor before programming the monitor. The K-factor represents the number of pulses per
unit of volume. See Connecting the ER-500 Monitor to a Pulse Output Device on page 7. The K-factor is needed to program
the monitor.
